Scottish Moss Agate Sterling Silver Pendant

Moss Agate
Sourced by one of Scotland's foremost and respected authorities on Scottish minerals, Dr David Anderson. The material used in this jewellery was found at Ethiebeaton Quarry, in Dundee. Moss Agate is a clear or milky white variety of chalcedony with mossy green coloured 'dendrites', which are caused by trace impurities such as iron or manganese. Moss Agate is said by crystal healers to attract prosperity and promote healing.

Sterling Silver (925%)
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
